It would appear that “former Tory MP Antoinette Sandbach has threatened the University of Cambridge with legal action after a historian named her as a descendant of merchants who enslaved his ancestors.”

Oh, my… It would be a damn shame if more people knew of this so please do not boost this post.

@aral The story here is that she'd rather cover it up than admit that her forebears did bad things. It's really not that difficult a thing to admit, if you recognise it; many people have ancestors who were involved in bad things in the past.

Which could be taken to imply that she still thinks they were right?

@AngharadHafod I mean, she is/was/will again be (?) a Tory?
